Following his horrific knee injury in 2020, many people overlooked Joe Burrow heading into this season, but that is not the case right now. The Bengals quarterback has been putting in outstanding performances in recent weeks, and he is a big reason why Cincinnati has won the AFC North and has a playoffs spot for the first time since the 2015 season.
Ahead of the final week of the regular season, the former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall draft pick is fifth in passing yards (4,611) and tied for sixth in touchdown passes (34).
He’s still a long shot to win the award at +1000, but he’s come a long way in just two years.
Burrow could have a good chance of winning the NFL MVP award next season.
With a combined 971 yards, eight touchdowns, and no interceptions on a 79 percent completion rate in the last two games, including victories over the Ravens and Chiefs, Joe Burrow now has the third-highest NFL MVP odds at DraftKings Sportsbook
